Are your parents willing to co-sign on the loans that would need to be taken out? (By co-signing, they are on the line for payments if you do not pay.) If not, you are limited to about $27k in loans for undergrad which won’t get you very far with most of the schools on your list.

How much is your family willing and able to pay for you on an annual basis for college? That’s the number that I would consider your college budget. As others have mentioned, costs for med school will be very high. You want to keep your costs as low as possible for undergrad, and with your record, you should be able to find significantly less expensive options. Also, I am unsure, but perhaps @WayOutWestMom knows…do med students have difficulty acquiring loans for med school if they are carrying too much debt from undergrad?
